Sabnzbd installed but nowhere to find?

Hi everybody,

I've installed sabnzbd under Sabayon 14.1 but after installation it's not in the menu's. Also Google Chrome doesn recoginze the path http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/.

Why is this? How come that Sabayon doesn't recongize sabnzbd?

Thanks!

I am using sabnzb on Debian, it might be different in Gentoo/Sabayon.

It does not necessarily have to be installed in localhost/sabnzb. Neither does it have to run on port 8080. When it runs on a different port, it usually means you don't run from the standard /var/www/sabnzb.

Your best bet is to try

Code:

ps ax | grep sab

It will show the port sabnzb is running on. Most likely you need localhost:8081 or so.

On one of my machines it refused to install on port 8081, but used 8086 instead.

I used that command and i get this as result. For as far as i can see, sabnzbd is not running although it is installed.

That link you posted insists that I install a new browser version, so I can't see it.

Then do

Code:

find / -name "sabnzb*"

I had to use the sudo comnmand, but this is the output:

It seems to be installed, but why doesn't it start?

It seems to be installed.

First attempt:

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/sabnzbd start

Check

Code:

ps ax | grep sab

again.

Second attempt:
Open /etc/init.d/sabnzbd with a text editor and look for a line SETTINGS=
It should mention a file, most likely in /etc/conf.d.
So open that settings file and look for a clue like hostname and port number.

My settings file lists this:

Code:

# [optional] hostname/ip and port number to listen on:
HOST=192.168.110.10
PORT=8081

I am not quite sure if it is neccessary to have the hostname set. When you set it, set it to the IP address of your machine where SAB is installed. This address 192.168.110.10 is my server address. The port number is important.
